High Martial Arts Storm

The crescent blade clashed with the giant axe.

The monstrous waves instantly spread in all directions, countless rocks fell, and the ground exploded with mud and rocks, as if the whole world was trembling.

The terrifying recoil force sent Yang Haocheng flying.

But the moment he landed, the tip of the blade pierced the ground, and as his body twisted, he charged again toward the Crimson Crystal Man, who was comparable to a nine-star warrior.

"court death!"

The man in the crimson crystal only took three or four steps back. After regaining his footing, he swung his giant axe down at Yang Haocheng once more.

"Bang……"

The crescent blade flew out of his hand.

The giant axe flashed with dazzling light and struck Yang Haocheng's left shoulder in an instant. As his entire arm flew through the air, he was only a little over a meter away from the Crimson Crystal Man.

At this time.

A dagger appeared in Yang Haocheng's right hand, and he stabbed it fiercely towards the neck of the Crimson Crystal Man.

"Too slow." The red crystal man slightly turned his body, and his sharp leg instantly struck Yang Haocheng's back, causing Yang Haocheng to fall forward.

opportunity!

Yang Haocheng was overjoyed.

Although he suffered heavy losses, he broke through the blockade repeatedly, even pretending to perish together with the enemy. At a great cost, he finally broke through the blockade of all the Crimson Crystal people.

Sprint!

He pushed the "Floating Willow Steps" to its limit. Even though he had lost an arm and was now completely battered, he still frantically channeled the three powers within his body into his legs.

"Damn it!"

The Crimson Crystal Man, whose strength was comparable to a nine-star War General, realized he had been tricked and flew into a rage, chasing after Yang Haocheng, who had already rushed dozens of meters away.

Behind!

The other seven crystal people were also in pursuit.

"Rush, rush, rush..."

"Sprint forward as far as you can."

"Of the remaining dozen or so Crimson Crystal people, only two are comparable to eight-star War Generals, and the other is comparable to a nine-star War General, and they have a chance to catch up with me."

"There are still two-thirds of the way left. Even though there's only a sliver of a chance, I absolutely cannot give up. Sprint, keep sprinting..."

Yang Haocheng's mind gradually dwindled to only one thought: to sprint.

He didn't even realize that as he pushed the "Floating Willow Steps" to its limit, under that state of perfect concentration, the number of combat footwork data on his system screen was also increasing rapidly, rising by more than one point in just one or two minutes.

His speed also exceeded the limit of his previous bursts.

Two kilometers!

One thousand meters!

600 meters...

Just when Yang Haocheng was only about 500 meters away from the end of the fifth-level circular road, the Crimson Crystal Man, who was comparable to a nine-star warrior, finally caught up to within seven or eight meters of Yang Haocheng.

"Stop right there, die..."

The man in the crimson crystal paused slightly, but then swung his giant axe fiercely at Yang Haocheng.

The axe struck Yang Haocheng in the back.

pain……

it hurts...

Yang Haocheng was almost driven mad, but his obsession did not disappear; instead, it became even stronger.

Sprint!

Sprint with all your might!

Even with that giant axe stuck in his back, he still wanted to rush to the end of the fifth level before he died and step onto the next level of stairs.

Four hundred meters!

Two hundred meters!

Just as Yang Haocheng felt his vision blur and his brain dizzy, he bit his tongue hard, grabbed the handle of the giant axe with his other hand, and pulled it down violently as he tore open an even bigger wound.

"Trying to block my way? Dream on!" Blood welled in Yang Haocheng's eyes, and his expression became extremely ferocious. With a mad roar, he suddenly turned around and slammed his giant axe into the Crimson Crystal Man behind him.

then!

Ignoring the large amount of blood gushing from his back wound, he turned around and continued sprinting.

One hundred meters!

ten meters...

A strong feeling of dizziness struck again. With her last shred of consciousness, she desperately bit her tongue, managing to buy herself two or three seconds.

The sprint is over.

As the bodies of more than a dozen Crimson Crystal People behind him vanished, he also rushed onto the steps.

For an instant.

His body appeared outside the cliff.

All the wounds on his body had disappeared.

But the instant he regained consciousness, the intense stinging pain made him feel like his head was about to explode, and his vision was completely blurry when he opened his eyes.

His body was falling towards the cliff.

The sound of the wind in my ears was like the roar of a thousand horses.

at the foot of the mountain.

Tang Xue and Meng Zizai had already discovered Yang Haocheng's record of passing the fifth level on the stone tablet. Although they were already deeply shocked, they still noticed Yang Haocheng falling off the cliff immediately.

call out!call out!

Meng Zizai was extremely fast, but Tang Xue was even faster. She stretched out her hands in mid-air and caught the almost unconscious Yang Haocheng.

Following closely behind, soaring into the sky and flying past quickly was Xia Lu, her face full of worry.

Even the war eagle didn't move.

He didn't even notice Yang Haocheng falling from the cliff.

His gaze was fixed on the light screen on the stone tablet. He struggled to raise his arm, rubbed his eyes hard with the back of his hand a few times, and then looked at the information on the stone tablet again.

That's right!

Yang Haocheng... he really made it through the fifth level.

How is that possible?

Yang Haocheng is just a freshman!

How long has he been training at the Four Seasons Martial Arts Academy? It seems like only a few months in total.

Why?

How did he manage to do that?

Even as Zhan Ying clenched his fists so tightly that he seemed oblivious to the fact that his nails dug into his flesh and blood dripped from between his fingers.

"Counselor Tang, how's the situation at the company?" Xia Lu rushed into the air and looked at Yang Haocheng, who was being held in Tang Xue's arms, and asked anxiously.

"He won't die, but he probably won't be in good shape either." Tang Xue looked helplessly at Yang Haocheng, who was almost unconscious, and shook her head with a bitter smile. "He probably died on the Path to Heaven. Although he didn't have any external injuries after coming out, his mental energy was greatly depleted. He'll probably be bedridden for the next few days."

Xia Lu breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion. She was so worried about Yang Haocheng's situation that she asked about it in her panic. Now that she was a little relieved, she understood that traversing the Heavenly Path would not be fatal.

It's okay to stay in bed for a few days.

My employer has been having a really tough and tiring time these past two or three months.

He should take a few days to rest.

only……

My boss is a complete freak!

Previously, even as a four-star Battle Commander, I had only managed to pass the fifth level of the Path to Heaven. Now, at only a four-star Battle General, he has already passed the fifth level. He's simply a monster among monsters, not human...

suddenly.

Her ears twitched slightly, and she vaguely heard Yang Haocheng's murmur:

"Which floor? How much?"

how much is it?

Xia Lu was speechless.

Meng Zizai's lips twitched violently a few times before she turned her face away.

Holding Yang Haocheng in her arms, Tang Xue was both amused and exasperated, and mentally labeled him a "super money-grubber".

"Meng Zizai, Yang Haocheng's mental energy is currently depleted. If he is not given a medicine to restore his mental energy in time, it may cause damage to his brain. As his bishop, are you just going to stand by and watch?" Tang Xue turned to Meng Zizai and asked.

"I……"

Meng Zizai was speechless.

He really wanted to ask Tang Xue, "As the other party's counselor, are you just going to stand by and watch?"

final!

He still didn't say anything, and coldly tossed a jade bottle to Tang Xue.

"Instructor Meng, once Yang Haocheng is fully awake, I will tell him about your 'concern'." Tang Xue smiled as she uncorked the bottle, and continued, "Given Yang Haocheng's loyal and righteous character, he will remember your kindness. When he becomes one of the strongest humans in the future, he will take good care of you."

"unnecessary!"

Meng Zizai snorted coldly, then added, "That's Eight Treasures Fruit Juice. Don't let him drink too much, otherwise it will not only be of no benefit to him, but will also do him harm."

"Eight Treasures Fruit Juice? Even in the eyes of a Battle King Realm expert, Eight Treasures Fruit Juice is extremely precious. You are really generous!" Tang Xue said in surprise.

Meng Zizai remained silent.

But his heart was bleeding.

Because he only has this one kind of potion to restore mental strength, even just a few drops would cost tens of millions of star coins, and this half-bottle... is worth at least a billion star coins.

Half a day later.

Yang Haocheng regained consciousness.

He found himself back on Peak 25, with Xia Lu by his bedside.

"Did you bring me back?" Yang Haocheng asked.

"Um!"

Xia Lu nodded with a smile.

"Did I pass the fifth level?" Yang Haocheng asked.

"That's right, you've successfully passed the fifth level of the Path to Heaven." Xia Lu was incredibly clever and guessed what Yang Haocheng wanted to ask next, so she said in advance, "Don't worry! The reward of 90 million star coins has been transferred to your account. You just need to rest and recuperate now."

"That's good!"

Yang Haocheng felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

He still felt lingering fear when he recalled the fierce battles and thrilling scenes when he broke through the fifth level of the Heavenly Road.

to be frank!

He felt that even if he tried again, he might not be able to succeed.

At the same time, he also realized that his strength was still too weak and he needed to train harder and faster.

He slowly closed his eyes and checked his internal condition.

Mental energy is completely depleted.

My mental energy is completely depleted.

Even the originally abundant internal energy has been reduced by 90% at this moment.

"Xia Lu, you can go out now! I need to cultivate," Yang Haocheng said.

"You don't need to rest, you need to get a good night's sleep." Xia Lu hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Counselor Tang and Instructor Meng repeatedly told me to tell you that you need to rest for a few days."

"I'm fine!"

Yang Haocheng shook his head, but the slight dizziness still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Here you go. It contains Eight Treasures Fruit Juice, a highly valuable spiritual potion. However, you can only take a maximum of two drops each time. Otherwise, it will not only fail to benefit you but also cause you harm." Xia Lu stuffed the jade bottle into Yang Haocheng's hand and said seriously, "Even two drops are worth tens of millions of star coins. This is from Instructor Meng. This half-bottle is worth at least a billion star coins."

Eight Treasures Fruit Juice?

How can it be so ridiculously expensive?

Yang Haocheng looked shocked, but at the same time, he was also deeply moved.

Dreams are free...

She was really good to him.

"Xia Lu, please return this to Instructor Meng!" Yang Haocheng shook his head and said, "He has already taught me so much and given me so many good things, so I can't accept such an expensive spiritual medicine anymore."

"Take two drops first, then give the rest back to him," Xia Lu said with a smile.
